Original text and translations

English text 1. Thou, O Christ, my Lord and King, Grant, in thine own name, my plea: Take the sacrifice I bring, Be thou “All thou art” in me. Be thou “All thou art” in me, Be thou “All thou art” in me, Take the sacrifice I bring, Be thou “All thou art” in me. 2. Thou a wonderworking God, Dwelling in eternity, As in flesh our planet trod, Work thy mighty work in me. Work thy mighty work in me, Work thy mighty work in me, As in flesh our planet trod, Work thy mighty work in me.

3. Prince of peace beyond compare, Thou whose power stilled the sea, Chief among ten thousand fair, Speak thy word of peace in me. Speak thy word of peace in me, Speak thy word of peace in me, Chief among ten thousand fair, Speak thy word of peace in me. 4. O thou mighty God of love, Died thyself to set us free, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove, Magnify thy love in me. Magnify thy love in me, Magnify thy love in me, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove, Magnify thy love in me.

5. Jesus, thou the life, the way, In thine image let me be; Keep my heart from day to day, Live thy holy life in me. Live thy holy life in me, Live thy holy life in me, Keep my heart from day to day, Live thy holy life in me. 6. Jesus, thou the joy untold, Like a river flowing free, Be thou ever in my soul, Let thy joy abound in me. Let thy joy abound in me, Let thy joy abound in me, Be thou ever in my soul, Let thy joy abound in me.
